Massena LAB is proud to partner with the new independent watchmaker Albishorn for the release of a new collaborative timepiece, the Maxigraph, a monopusher chronograph—and a true tool watch with a patented regatta timer—inspired by the rich history of nautical timepieces and of the city of Geneva itself. Recalling the first edition of the now legendary regatta race, Le Bol d’Or, first held on Lake Geneva in 1939, the Maxigraph is the creation of an imagined history: how might a modern-day regatta chronograph have looked in the 1930s?
Albishorn is an independent Swiss watchmaker that blends (and bends) horological history to craft original and distinctive timepieces, drawing inspiration from vintage pieces to create what it calls "imaginary vintage®". The Maxigraph imagines what might have been, if horological history had been only slightly different.
The Maxigraph is a monopusher chronograph with an automatic, Swiss-made, proprietary caliber with a patented ten-minute retrograde regatta timer. Unlike a typical regatta timer, which restarts endlessly when the countdown is over, the Maxigraph’s timer stops once ten minutes have elapsed, while the chronograph continues to run. The countdown is reset by pushing its single, red aluminum pusher at 9 o’clock, the optimal position for the thumb, considered the best digit when operating a chronograph.
The silver dial of the Maxigraph was designed with a focus on legibility and functionality. Each scale has its own place, finish, and color, resulting in an original and modern sector dial which references the timepieces of the 1930s. An aperture for a colorful running indicator is located at four o’clock, and Super-LumiNova® provides luminosity to the hour and minute hands. Super-LumiNova® is also integrated subtly on the dial on two scales during hours when low light is typical: one arc spanning from 18 to 24 o’clock, and another from 12 to 6 o’clock.
The stainless steel case of the Maxigraph measures 39mm, or 41mm including its stainless steel, bidirectional bezel. Its crown is located at 10 o’clock, remaining clear of obstructions, and the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, making it a perfect companion for a day on the water.
The Albishorn x Massena LAB Maxigraph is now sold out and no longer available for purchase. To be notified of future Massena LAB collaborations with Albishorn, please join our waiting list or sign up for our newsletter.
